Cosmic-applets version: 0.1.0173134111022.04~09062c1

Specific applet that this is regarding (if applicable): all of them

Issue/Bug description: each applet is consuming 300 Mb of memory

Steps to reproduce: use htop, btop, or a similar program to check RAM usage of comic-applets

Expected behavior: their sizes should be ~100 times smaller.

Other notes: I am using Pop!_OS 22.04 LTS x86_64 and Linux kernel 6.9.3-76060903-generic

Are these release builds compiled with -C prefer-dynamic and -C strip=symbols flags to reduce the binary size? Maybe that could help.

Could you post the output of https://github.com/pixelb/ps_mem? That may be a little more useful than a screenshot of htop.

I do see memory usage reported that's about 100x smaller than that. Though even using multiple megabytes per applet may mean there's room for improvement.

Those are the results of ps_mem after a fresh start. Later today I'll paste the results of ps_mem after a couple of hours running, to see if there's a big difference.

I wonder what's causing this. Personally, i'm on latest commits and memory consumption seems reasonable

Those numbers look a bit high too, comparing to a recently started session on my system (with 3 monitors).

Looks like a memory leak somewhere.
